Chromium stood to his feet, his silver form reflecting the crashing waves, the moonlight and the visage of his foe as he walked towards him spiked mace in hand. Chromium glanced towards the white faced Lady Key, eager to make sure she did not escape but a whirling spiked mace commanded a certain amount of attention from even the bravest of fighters and Chromium certainly qualified. Frowning in concentration he focused on his right arm and lo it did change shape!

A mighty sword, crackling with electrical energy took the place of his hand and Chromium smiled at his opponent,"Are you sure this is what you want to do? I'd hate to cut you down in battle but I will if I must....it would be better for you if you just gave in and let me take you to the police...or stockade."

The crackling power surging along the length of his hand-blade reflected on his body bathing the beach in a shimmering light as he circled his opponent, ready for the inevitable clash.

The silver Porsche drove directly into the fireball that was the flash bang, swerving much to late to avoid the impact from the blast but it had little effect on his metallic flesh and the parts of the car that allowed Chromium to see and he came tearing out of the fireball totally intact and driving at an insane speed for a normal car on the beach sand and drove directly towards the wheels of the bike the pair were driving on. Chromium had never done what he planned to do right now, but he had thought about it many times and it was more than a little risky. He was going to drive right into the wheels of the bike, and then at the moment of impact change into his human form, his hand hopefully clasping the rear tire of Sir Prizes bike and then.....

Surprise!

He should be too heavy for the bike to move and would halt it's forward momentum, he knew enough about car accidents to know that if all went according to his very heroic mental image both Sir Prize and Lady Key would be flying through the air with the greatest of ease, like they were on the flying trapeze but without a net only cold hard beach to meet their surprised faces!

At least that was the plan....

Failed Initial Reflex of 16: 14

No Dazzle for me: 19

Toughness DC 21: 28

Just a reminder, I have Impervious 7, so if it's damage is less than 7 I ignore it....metal skin for the win!

Ram the bike (Accurate attack -3, attempt to grapple with improved grab and stop it dead): 28

"We are agents of WEST, a organization who is sent to investigate strange planer events...like this portal, do you know much about it?", the question was no sooner out of his mouth than they started talking about big science, tasty suppering and then asked about pink two leg flesh,"I wouldn't suggest it if I was you, you might find your appetite outweighs your abilities....no who is Lord Urghrghu? Who is Gruuur? Most importantly where does this portal go?"

Black Mamba

The Red will Rise

Chromium

Fight them on the Beaches

Delta

Better thinking in the Lost World

Beach sand spewed out from beneath the metal mans tires as they chewed up the distance, his engines whined as he flew along the ground faster and faster. He gave everything he had to go as fast as possible, he would catch this Sir Prize if it was the last thing he did!

Obviously he's the same speed as me so I'm going all out move, once again it's an inherent speed do I need a drive check?

If Delta had an eyebrow it would be raised at all the goings on, particularly the indication that this group was not made up of your typical Freedom City person....which made sense considering what they were trying to accomplish,"Is there any other Terminus Signatures on the planet?" If there were any others, including perhaps his battle brothers, it could prove problematic for him but he knew recovering the artifact was paramount,"I have encountered some Terminus Energy powered villains from a similar world....so we will need to be careful, some people are less concerend with the well being of the worlds and more with gathering power at any cost."

Delta's hand folded back, his blaster cannon raised to shoot down the Dr Archville, an angry red glow starting to build in the barrel when suddenly monkeys with carbines arrived and he hesitated.

Just for a moment, he had met many things on his last Journey through the planes and learned that not everything wanted to kill him..at least not at first.

Turning towards the monkey, keeping his cannon pointed away from them he frowned,"Hold! We are here to investigate the portal! Who are you and what are you doing here? Did you come through the portal?"

Well he certainly hoped they spoke English!

And I'm back, if a little slower, going to try and talk this out to start!

Apologies @Supercape @TheAbsurdist I managed to fracture my sternum a couple days ago. Once I've got things a little more together I'll throw up some posts, sorry about the delay.

Wow, Dice Roller hates me today: 17

The heat was oppressive, but if you are made of enough metal and have a heat sink to disperse it then it becomes tolerable, as he looked around at the jungle various graphs appeared in front of his eyes in various images and he frowned,"This heat is well above the mean for this area...something is affecting the temperature. It might be an excessive energy output by the portal." More information streamed in front of his eyes as his databases provided him with what he needed before he looked at Henry and nodded, stepping next to him and moving steadily but cautiously forward keeping his eyes out for the snakes Henry had mentioned.

And just a little better: 12 on the heat roll

EDIT: And using skill mastery and Full processing power I get 23 on the Earth Science roll

Off to post IC

With his wife safe the Black Mamba combat system dove through the broken skylight, his gold and black armor glistening in the sunlight as he slammed feet first into the floor near the Red Death, he had quiet enough of her monologues, gas gun and attempts to escape it was time she was brought to justice! His black and gold gauntlet rose towards her and a single barrelled weapon, crafted by AR Industries, popped up out of the middle of his forearm the business end glowing an erie golden green before firing off what looked like some kind of green constrictor snake that attempted to wrap itself around the Red Death.

It's tail stayed connected to the Black Mamba combat suit and with a curl of his forearm he prepared himself to drag her into his arms if the gold and green snake wrapped itself around her. Soon she'd be suffering a crushing defeat!

Move Action: Fly and land near Red and her gassy gun

Attack Action: Fire Snare Hits DC 23, Snare DC 20

Delta listened, his face passive before he looked over to Dr Archville and nodded,"Let's walk the last click as suggested, I have had some bad experiences with teleporters gone wrong just recently...visited like 20 dimensions to get back." Even if some of them had been really quick it was still not his favorite experience,"So whatever you think is a safe distance for your teleporter....I have a short range one of my own that I use, but I have ways to chop throw plants too."

With a thought the black and red metal on his arms slid aside and two large machete like blades slid into place, sliding out above his wrist, laying flat against the top of his hands and extending out about a foot he chuckled,"Ready when you are, Doctor."

Delta didn't take any of WEST's technology, he had enough installed in his body to deal with almost any circumstances.

Sorry work is insane, should be able to post Thursday. With Delta's recent teleport adventures hes likely to prefer the old fashioned way.

IC post on Thursday. Sorry for the delay.

There was a brief moment of panic as words started to show up on his HUD, that had long been the way of relaying instructions to the squad by his creator but once he knew what it was Delta breathed a long slow breath and sat back, glancing over at the Doctor very briefly before replying in kind,"Very good, I have the ability to communicate over a long distance via radio waves and to be able to control machinery at that distance as well, even up to and including flying and driving vehicles. Please let me know if there are any other tests you are planning on running."

"There were five of us, Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta and Echo....so far I am the only one who has escaped the mind control chip. I hope to help my brothers escape as well. It is not good they are being put to task destroying the universe for the Lord of the Terminus.",Delta's voice was grim and determined as he spoke about those created with him, and his jaw set it was perhaps good that Delta had some time to listen to North prattle for awhile and gather himself again.

Delta did as instructed and soon was strapped in before smiling at Agent Cortez,"If it helps at all I'm pretty sure I can get the plane to the ground safely if something goes wrong? I'm sure nothing will....this plane seems in good shape, right?"

Delta didn't add that he could likely fly the plane if need be, or fix it, because that would be bragging and the human likely just needed some reassurances,"Good news is, no one is shooting at us, right?"

Delta looked unblinking at the Doctor, his smile fixed if a little more strained,"Not much, actually, just that you were of interest to WEST and that I was to be on hand to work with you." He started to walk to the plane and shook his head,"No, I am not an Omegadrone, my brothers and I were supposed to replace the Omegadrone....like the humans have a SWAT team to compliment the standard police, our task was as a special weapons force but our creator wanted to replace the Omegadrones with us, and earn favor with the ruler of Terminus."

He nodded as the Doctor cut his questions short, he tilted his head and listened as Dr North spoke on, smirking at the mention of being prepared, and that's why they had him on hand in case the good Dr got out of hand. Focusing on Dr North for a moment he shook his head,"I am ready to go whenever the plane is ready."

Chromium growled, looking at Facsimile and shook his head,"They blew it up to stop them doing 'bad' things...we need to catch them." Leaping into the air the heavy metal man came down with a clang in the shape of a Porsche and with a skid of tires, much dirt being flung into the night air he tore off after their foe...again, this time there would be no mercy he needed to catch them and bring them into Aegis if he was ever going to be taken seriously.

Clothed in camo, the green and brown variety, stands a tall well muscled man...or maybe that is too strong a term, the clothing covers his chest but exposes most of his back, neck and both shoulders and arms. Those areas are not flesh but black cybernetics picked out with highlights of red and a large disk used to disperse heat. Another amalgamation of technology and flesh turned it's head to look at the Doctor, massive bulbous machine eyes stare at the doctor, unblinking as they whir softly, the aperture irising open to allow him to look more carefully at the newest visitor to west. Diodes flash on the mostly mechanical head, flashing red and green as information is processed and an artificial reality HUD flashes into existence information flowing in front of the big muscled cyber-man.

Stamping his boots just a little he turns, standing at ease as he lets a smile curl the human part of his face up,"Greetings, I am Delta, from Dr. North's briefing I am to assume you are Dr. Archeville? What do you think of the mission we have been assigned, my last was a doozy....although I got to see some rather lovely Zeppelin's."

Throw rubble at bike: Hits 9....likely a miss but DC 17 if I hit. Accurate attack -3 to make it +7/DC17

Chromium was tired of chasing these loons, he didn't bother answering their nonsensical garbage, he bent down scooped up a large chunk of the building that had been exploded and chucked it at the idiot knights rear tire, hoping to cause enough damage to stop him from continuously running away.

He could chase him, but he'd prefer not to. The other super hero might be on the way to provide assistance.
